special walk 2008!

Phew. I guess all the crazy work has ended, with a bang!

Tiring I must admit,

Sleepy I must agree,

but meaningful I must believe.

It was very meaningful for me, and I really felt for the event…

The people, the smiles on their faces, the endorpines that filled the atmosphere, and the excitment going around really made me happy.

The walk was successful, and I think many of the walkers enjoyed the walk (and the shelters i guess). It is really fun (in my opinion) to receive items along the walk. Essentially it is something very new, and it is also something which is very attractive!

The whole idea of balloons and celebration was really a nicely thought out theme. It made sense. After 3 years of this event, what we really want to tell the rest is that we are celebrating the fact that a lot more people are now aware about autism.

Although I have yet interacted much with autistic children, this event made me feel for the school and for the amount of effort and time they are willing to give up just to give these children more chances in life.

This event was really something that touched me, and I really hope to spread the word further! (:

I have been wearing the wristband ever since and now I have the Art for Autism t-shirt as well haha… It is this really really really cute picture of a big head boy done by one of the students in the school.

I am really glad that I had the opportunity to be part of this big event and I hope that in the following years to come, this event will grow bigger and soon the whole nation would get to be able to participate in it!

Special Walk 2008 and beyond for the win! (:
